    Just as I remember from my younger days. It is a classic remake that is directed to older type gamers like me. I don't know many nowadays young players that would get through isometric graphics and the amount of text you can expect of BG series.
    It's a very solid work, with awesome storyline, some great characters (and some crappy ones), nicely implemented D&D rules. Everything fits

    It's a very solid work, with awesome storyline, some great characters (and some crappy ones), nicely implemented D&D rules. Everything fits perfectly.
    Unfortunately there are some problems with FPS on PS4 console during bigger battles (couple of area of effect spells and the games starts stuttering). So the performance could be better, much better. Also choosing your action from the characters menu can be frustrating as you have to use your d-pad to choose the icon each time (lots of clicking). And personally I hate putting "Pause", which is crucial for this game, under tiny "Options" button.
    All in all.... I love it, but it's only for die hard fans.

    Going through Baldur's Gate for the first time is a reminder of what makes a classic RPG -- It’s hard to miss the ways it influenced the genre two decades years ago and how its impact can still be seen in games today, but as a modern experience, it does require a new player to meet in the middle a bit in terms of quality-of-life and the slightly-dated presentation. Despite that, this is the perfect game for a fan of the genre like me to finally play and having an updated version of the game available to a wide new audience is an opportunity for new fans to see exactly why it remains so highly regarded to this day.
